So this game looks pretty fun. How well would it run on a GTX960m with an i7 5700 2.7ghz processor?

Probably fine? I have a 4990K and GTX 970, and running on almost everything on high, with no noticeable frame rate issues. 960m should be able to handle it fine if you drop a few settings.

Ok, sounds good. It is a mobile card so I was expecting a drop anyways, but this is reassuring.

So I got the GMG code for an extra 25 percent off and bought the preorder at 20 bucks. I won't get to sit down and play until thursday evening though. If I'm a hitty hitty smashy smashy kind of player, would the Dwarf be a good fit?

So when Total War Warhammer comes out, they should totally do a cross promotion with Vermintide: Skaven race for Total War, Orc and Blood Dragon mercenaries for Vermintide as new characters.

You can get away with putting a Vampire in Vermintide, just make them an aspiring Blood Dragon. The strongest Blood Dragons are insanely deadly to the point of dueling Bloodthirsters, but everyone has to start somewhere.

What is the Warhammer god of RNG? I need to thank him/her/it for finally giving me a be staff and turning my basic fire attack into a flaming shotgun blast of awesome.

His initials are N.F.L, and his patrons play Bloodbowl. Everyone else just calls him Nuffle.

So unless you have armor piercing, how can you deal with Stormvermin? It seems sword and board Kruber is not very good at fighting them.

Something I would like is the ability to at least push a special if you manage to time it right before getting hosed over. It sucks when a Packmaster spawns right in your face and snares you instantly even if you are blocking.

Anyone running this on a 970 and i3570k or similar? Have they improved the optimization at all since beta started?

Still waiting on Nvidia to put out some drivers for this game. It runs pretty good but there are definitely places where your FPS will still tank, especially if there's a lot of particle effects flying.

There really needs to be some sort of split second block for hook rats or gutter runners. As it is if one comes at you in the middle of a crowd you're basically hosed. Even L4D gave you the chance to interrupt a Hunter's lunge if you timed a push right.

Related to this, it'd be nice if, after (if) they add DLC characters that some weapons get listed as cross-class. The greatswords, handguns, and crossbows are probably the biggest examples of cross-class weapons and it'd cut down on some of the frustration of not getting any of the weapons you want. Which is mostly fine for now, but if/when more characters get added it'll only get worse.

Elaborating on that, cross class weapons could have certain bonuses regarding where the weapon comes from, like say a Dwarf handgun fires faster than an Empire Harquebus, but the Harquebus has more accuracy, or summat.

I loving love the sound that Globadiers make. It's like a steam engine from hell.

Does the future run on Vista to get that time machine working?

I don't know how well this game will run with Vista. Did DirectX 11 even exist when Vista was around?

Deathwing is probably not going to be as much a survival game as Vermintide. It's probably going to be a lot more flashy guns blazing murder the gently caress out of the Tyranids while not getting ripped apart by Genestealers kind of fun. Probably a lot more lethal than Vermintide since the basic Genestealers have rending claws that will tear through even the strongest Space Marine in no time. Think if it was an entire army of Stormvermin and Gutter Runners instead of junk clanrats.

Playing Engines of War as the Dwarf, I accidentally fall off the side of a cliff and lose three quarters of my health at the beginning of the map. Guy playing Kruber starts a vote to kick me, but he loses, so he starts yelling in chat at us. Elf player points out that Kruber player was being a dick anyways by stealing all the ammo for his stupid blunderbuss rather than the elf's bow, and the elf player was actually pretty good. Kruber player spent the rest of the match complaining at us because he's a level 40 and we're all levels 15-25 so we obviously suck. I blow all three doomwheels and then Kruber got grabbed by a hook rat so we abandoned him until he rage quit.

This game brings out the best in us and it's all justified because everyone in Warhammer hates each other.

For all the bad stuff in The End Times, the Skaven plan to blow up the moon and the undead toad deflecting everything before taking off in his aztec rocket ship was probably the best. That and Settra telling the other undead to gently caress off.

Why would they even need to trademark Orc? They've already got the spelling Ork and the nickname Greenskins.

I'm an idiot for not noticing earlier, but the best place to hold out at the end of Machines of War is in the cellar. No worries about ROgres down there and it's easy to defend.

So how well does the Mace and Shield hold up? I've tried it but I have a hard time getting a hold of the swing combo. The first two swings are hilarious because they just send rats flying, but it has pretty low damage and the only AP you get is from your shield bash.

Had a game of smugglers run on Hard. Some level six Kruber sees a stormvermin patrol come marchine his way, rather than avoid them or throwing a bomb, he decides the best course of action is to open up with his repeater at point blank range. Proceeds to get stomped and the rest of the party goes down to half health trying to save his sorry rear end.

Have one person with a shield prefereably tank it, if you have a strength potion chug it before tossing a bomb at the thing. It isn't armored by AP attacks will definitely help bring it down. Dodge backwards when it goes for a ground pound, always keep your shield up and at full stamina to block its toss attack. Preferably fight it in an open area rather than in a building.

I got an arming sword for Kruber, and it actually seems pretty good? Head shot and armor penetration on the charged attack and three shields of stamina doesn't seem too bad.

Played a nightmare Smuggler's Run. At the edge of the flooded section with the wide open space, we hear a patrol of stormvermin coming our way. The geniuses I was playing with decided to hide to the right of the entrance they were coming from rather than retreating across the water and going around. So I suggest tossing an improved bomb with a strength potion and the elf player starts to flip out (because it's always the elf player) thinking I'm going to get us all killed. The stormvermin are almost on top of us, so I say gently caress it, hock the potion and toss the improved bomb. Lands square in the middle, I get eight stormvermin kills, and the rest of the players applauded me.

The elf shut up after that.

I am also loving Kruber's Arming Sword. Headshot and AP on the special attack is brilliant for swarms. So many decapitations.
